LUSH

Hiya everyone! Hope you are all fabulous and enjoying some lovely spring weather!
I have become slightly addicted to LUSH Cosmetics. I LOVE them so much. Everything is vegan and handmade with fresh ingredients you can actually pronounce. All their products smell delicious.

The first purchase I made I only purchased one item, and that was the H'Suan Wen Hua Super Nutritious hair mask. It was awesome! My hair felt amazing and it smelt so fresh. It's made with fresh avocados, eggs, bay leaves, cinnamon and so many other delightful ingredients.

After that, I was hooked! I recently received my second little shipment and was doubly excited because I finally got some of their ever famous Bath Bombs.

I am in love! I bought two, and I also purchased one of their soaps, one called God Mother. It honestly smells like a giant Swedish Berry candy! Yum! I love sweet, sugary smelling scents so I was hooked.

The first bath bomb I tried was the Butter Ball.

 
Our vanilla-scented Bath Bomb is anything but boring when you lay back into a cozy white blanket of creamy, buttery froth. This little fizzer is the ultimate in comfort with chunks of creamy cocoa butter; it’s fantastic for rehydrating dry skin. Baths can dry your skin if they’re too hot, so if you’re in need of a long, lingering bath pop one of these gorgeous beauties into the tub for a vanilla custard soak to lull you into a deep relaxed state – and leave with sweeter, softer skin. 


I just dropped this into the bath and immediately it started fizzing and my little bathroom was filled with an amazing aroma of vanilla and custard. Ugh I could not wait to get in. Once in the bath I was completely smitten. The scent was so soothing and relaxing, and my skin was feeling so soft. Not greasy as some might think since there are chunks of cocoa butter throughout. 

The next bath bomb that I have yet to try but figured I would talk about any way is the Sex Bomb!

 What’s in a name? When it comes to the Sex Bomb we take the moniker seriously. A must for any romantic bath, our world famous sphere of sex appeal contains all of Nature’s most potent and seductive ingredients to get you in the mood for a good… bath. Scintillating jasmine, clary sage and ylang ylang are powerful aphrodisiacs that are known to relax you as they warm your heart, and other body parts too. Soya milk makes the water milky, softening your entire body as you enjoy a luxurious soak with our best-selling Bath Bomb. Consider yourself warned. 


This thing is HUGE! Pardon the inuendo there ha ha! It is so lovely and smells divine. It has a gorgeous flowery sexy aroma. I seriously cannot wait to try this baby out. It smells so delicious. 

And the soap. Finally this super girly, sweet decadent soap. I love this so much, but I find it difficult to use everyday it is just so sweet!

  We know some of you out there use dish soap to wash your hands. Consider this bar of pink, candy sweetness your hand washing fairy godmother and make the switch! Much gentler than the stuff by the sink; our Godmother will charm and enchant your entire body with the famous Snow Fairy scent of bubble gum and candy floss. Our loyal fans and customers wanted a soap that smelled like our famous Snow Fairy shower gel, and we just couldn't say no. Care for your skin and satisfy your sweet tooth all in one wash! 


This soap lathers nicely and isn't drying at all. The scent of sweet candy lingers on your skin for a few hours. I will likely just use this if I've had a rough day or if I am really craving something sweet!

The next few things I'd like to show you are the other items that are on their merry way to me! My bathbomb basket is ready and waiting!

  If your love life is stalled, you need a touch of magic. Based on a spell used to stir the passions, Tisty Tosty is our love potion made with the scent of precious rose and orris root. The flower of love, rose perfume is said to ease tension and give people happy, positive feelings (just like falling in love). It’s also good for dry or rough skin so you can improve your skin as well as your love life in just one bath. Already in love? Invite them into your clutches and a warm bath. 

Inspired by the delightful Audrey Hepburn, Pink is sophisticated, sexy, elegant, and witty. Fragranced with edgy tonka bean, neroli, and the sweetness of vanilla absolute, it turns baths into candy-scented fantasies with a fragrance that lingers on your skin long after you’re out of the bath. It's sweet, but not overbearingly so, with a subtle bite of something cheeky. Spoil yourself; instead of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, have an indulgent bath with Pink. 

If you've ever read the LUSH We Believe statement on our bags or here on our website, you may remember the bit that says, "We believe in the right to make mistakes, lose everything and start again." This Bath Bomb is a tribute to our belief that great things can rise out of the ashes, just like the mythical Phoenix. Royal purple and gold-dusted, with a cinnamon stick in the center, this gorgeous bomb sinks to the bottom of the tub when you toss it in, and slowly rises up, fizzing out a spicy apple and cinnamon scent. 

 Our number one, best-selling product of all time, Dream Cream contains every ingredient nature makes for soothing sore skin. One of our proudest product achievements ever, we love this body lotion because it makes people happy. It transforms suffering bodies into states of peace with our calming blend of oat milk, lavender and chamomile to care for irritations, reduce redness, and banish blotches. Olive oil and cocoa butter are perfectly suited and incredibly effective for dry or chapped skin, and especially gentle for even the most sensitive types. Do your skin a favor, treat it right with Dream Cream.

 The most subtle of our hennas; choose Caca Brun for sleek, beautiful hair with rich, dark brown tones. Brunettes can use Caca Brun for its fantastic conditioning and shine inducing properties without seeing a drastic change to their natural color. We’ve added nettles for added shine and to keep your scalp in tip top condition too. Because henna coats each individual hair, smoothing the cuticles and protecting it from damage, it’s the ultimate conditioning treatment. Hennaed hair is strong, glossy and absolutely gorgeous.

Now this I am really excited for! Their henna hair dye! I am going to slowly bring my hair to a gorgeous dark brown colour instead of black, and I really don't want to use harsh dyes.

 Mmm... there's nothing more comforting than the fragrance of hot coconut milk and the slightly spicy blend of orange and patchouli oils. The fluffy bubbles envelop you like a cozy blanket, wrapping you up nice and warm and sending you off to bed with a big hug and a huge smile on your face. Soak in Hot Milk's warm waters, then slip into your favorite jammies and fall into your fluffy bed. Repeat nightly.
 With blasts of sparkles and refreshing grapefruit oil, Space Girl is a Bath Bomb of astronomical proportions. You’ll be ready to explore the cosmos (bath time) in a trail of purple stardust. We put real popping candies into each one to add some pop to our signature fizz. Shaped like Saturn, the energizing scent of blackcurrant candies will make you hungry for your own space adventures as you soak away in the tub. It’s really out of this world.

Glitter, sparkles, and black currant scent! Oh yes please
 If you’re looking to rewire your little one’s energy panel so you both can get some sleep, draw them a warm bath instead of warming up milk. A modern 21st century invention, Ickle Baby Bot has been designed to mesmerize the senses with ray guns of lavender, chamomile, and sandalwood. These sleep-inducing essential oils are nature’s cure for insomnia and calming restless babes. One soak with our relaxing Bath Bomb and they’ll be happily dreaming of sheep (and Little Bo Peep) in no time. Having trouble computing yourself? You wouldn’t be the first to sneak in a ‘bot bath…

 This solid toothpaste is a refreshing and seductively sweet blend of Earl Grey, lime and aphrodisiac jasmine. Don’t forget to bring one of these beauties on your next date; they’re perfect for freshening up before smooching. Sneak away to the restroom just before your goodbye for a quick brush with aphrodisiac oils- sure to increase your chances of a goodnight kiss! We add mineral-rich seaweed powder to Aquatic because it’s loaded with calcium, which is great for keeping teeth strong.

Now these look awesome! The flavour I am picking has Earl Grey, Lime and jasmine! For your teeth! I think that it is just awesome, and I am so looking forward to trying them!
 Inspired by the unusual Japanese fruit the yuzu (kind of like a Satsuma orange), this Bubbleroon has a delectable orange chocolate fragrance, with exotic tropical undertones and an uplifting grapefruit top note. It makes mountains of fluffy white bubbles and the most sublimely soft bath water you’ve ever had. With Extra Virgin coconut oil and Fair Trade Shea Butter (like all of our Bubbleroons) Yuzo and Cocoa is the crème de la crème of chocolatey, moisturizing, and soothing baths.
 Massage our Buffy body butter all over your wet skin in the bath or shower to make you softer and smooth to the touch, paying special attention to your backside. We add ground rice, almonds and beans to Buffy to act as exfoliants; the rough textures eliminate lumps and bumps and sloughs away dry skin cells to reveal brighter, fresher looking skin. Rinse off the exfoliating bits and pat yourself dry. There's no need for body lotion after a Buffy slaying session, because the cocoa and shea butters keep your skin beautifully smooth, moisturized and soft to the touch.
 Our sweetest shower jelly is also our best-seller! Between the fruity fragrance, the iridescent glitter that leaves a sparkle on your skin, and the seaweed base that leaves your skin softened and refreshed, it’s irresistible. And while we know our blackcurrant and sour cherry wobbler smells good enough to eat, we recommend you curb your cravings and hop in the shower and wash with Sweetie Pie instead. Smooth it all over your body (and your hair too!) for a sweet yet sophisticated cleansing experience. 


I can't even describe how thrilled I am with these products. I can't wait for the rest of them! And don't you worry, I will be doing full reviews of each of the products with my own opinion as I use them! 

Hope you all have a wonderful night, and have sweet dreams of LUSH products! LOL jk. 

And remember.... 

You Are Beautiful!
